The Metaverse Explained With Examples

In this video we explain what the metaverse is, look at the key components of a metaverse and provide practical real-world examples that will bring the concept to life and make it understandable for anyone.

At first glance and after watching this, it seems to me that metaverse is going to turn the human race into a horrible caricature of itself. Obese couch potatoes with electronic headgear, afraid to participate and confront life's real challenges and rewards, running around with Arnold-like or Barbie-like bodies doing impossible imaginary things just to compensate for the waste their life has become. Can you imagine what the health of our kids and grandkids will be-diabetes, heart disease, on and on. The horrid world of people riding around in hovering chairs drinking cupcakes-in-a cup like Wall-e

Living fake digital lives Will create more sorrow and pain even suicide will rise. There is no substitute for human to human contact.

Wonderful explanation. A few things no one is talking about that are going to be the largest, yet perhaps short-term, I think like motion sickness, the need to wear a bulky clunky headset, etc. The internet is in our daily lives, for some people every minute of every day. There's simply no way to do that with the metaverse until you can get rid of the need for VR hardware. To me, the whole idea sounds really really crazy cool but hardly practical at all.

What's the point in climbing a virtual mountain or taking a virtual dog for a walk? Is it for practise purposes before doing the real thing or are people just dreaming and happy with their dreams and fantasies?

[Hehehe-hfrq]

so this is just a fancy name for vr gaming applied to different contexts?

It will be big and cool. But mostly for losers that can't hack it in the real world. Pretty sad actually. I will be moving somewhere in the real world, and staying unplugged from this Matrix, thank you very much...

Great explanation Bernard! I am a software engineer myself but I don't really get what 'metaverse' is until I watched this. I thought it was just another www bubble or just a fancy word to trick investors.

So what kind of equipment would be needed to run this. Are any companies going to standardize the cone between each other. Doubtful.

[gokusupersaiya]

its realistic? im prefer buy real ferrari than metaverse ferrari without v8 sound

[aquahydroman]

There are some exciting Blockchain Metaverse games, that will outdo Facebook, Decentraland/Sandbox, Axie/Myneighbour Alice/WaxP, once interoperability is more enabled on the Block chain, this was the user owns the NFT/rewards, rather than corporations like Facebook....

Next time slow the reading prompter down a bit..

[JennyGavinWear]

Scary, seriously scary. Not for me thank you!

[TurtleIslandGoddess]

THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS!!THERE WILL BE NO ACTUAL, LITERAL CONTACT BETWEEN PEOPLE!AND YALL EXCITED ABOUT THIS SUBSTITUTION?!ADDICTION IS EMINENT WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY!!🤔

[metaphysicalmaze]

i feel like that all these metaverse videos on yt are all about explaining mmorpg to boomers.

[jamesandrews]

If you owned an actual Ferrari and a digital Ferrari, why would you drive the digital one?

[mossie]

I think I'd actually get motion sickness participating in this lol

[jima]

So it's pretty much playstation home ?

[Nekotaku_TV]

You didn't explain much, that it's just a concept. Unless you go by the definition that it's a social platform in VR.
VRChat is an amazing new platform and it changed my life. Been a thing for years. So much can be done there. It's not a game, it has games.
How the hell did he not even mention VRChat and show footage of it?!

[robertfindley]

People need to get off their lazy butts and actually do something. Climb a mountain, not a virtual mountain. Take a risk, meet a neighbor. Join reality. On the plus side maybe they'll have virtual children, create virtual carbon emissions and throw out virtual garbage, solving those problems.

This looks AMAZING 👏, ESCAPE this shitty world we live in
